Aaron Anderson...Was he hurt or just did not get in?

He was in.

I still don't understand what happened with the punt returns. Kelly spent camp hyping up how electric he was, he botched his first opportunity and then we never saw him again. I wondered if it had shown up in camp and once it happened in game, they weren't risking it again.

AA’s situation has been weird all year.

It looked like they were gonna use him heavily on special teams and then after one muffed punt they abandoned that completely the rest of the year.

Would’ve been nice to see him take a few late in some games that were already wrapped up to start gaining back that confidence. Really weird we never gave him another shot, especially if he’s now gonna be the guy next year.

Offensively, it’s even weirder. Sure, Malik and BTJ went off, so you could argue there just wasn’t enough balls to go around. But Denbrock was so gitty before the season when talking about AA and how you have to scheme him into the game plan and get the ball in his hands.

I thought he’d be our slot guy all year and have more play calls specifically designed for him, whether that be screens or reverses.

Just very odd how little he was used in every capacity this year.

Call me crazy but I haven't seen anything special.

He looks like he has quickness, but is actually too slow to separate from DBs on routes...or turn the corner on sweeps/end-arounds. And is too little to make contested catches. They force-fed plays to him that ended more than one drive. Wasted targets.

He's a Tiger, so I hope he becomes a playmaker, but I haven't seen difference-making ability.
